Pinto, Joaquín (1842–1906)

Joaquín Pinto (b. 18 August 1842; d. 1906), Ecuadorian artist. One of the first Ecuadorian artists to paint local landscapes, Pinto was born in Quito and revealed a talent for art at an early age. He studied with Ramón Vargas, Rafael Vanegas, Andrés Costa, Tomás Camacho, Santos Ceballos, and Nicolás Cabrera. He mastered watercolor technique with Juan Manosalvas, who had studied in Rome. Pinto married fellow artist Eufemia Berrío in 1876; they lived at San Roque, an art colony in Quito.

Pinto painted religious and mythological subjects as well as portraits and scenes from daily life. He favored the small format and was influenced by the French artist Jacques Callot. At the suggestion of Bishop González Suárez, he documented the archaeological treasures of Ecuador. From 1903 to 1904 he was director of the Academy of Painting and Drawing in Cuenca and was a founding member of the New National School of Fine Arts in Quito (1904).

Citation styles

Encyclopedia.com gives you the ability to cite reference entries and articles according to common styles from the Modern Language Association (MLA), The Chicago Manual of Style, and the American Psychological Association (APA).

Within the “Cite this article” tool, pick a style to see how all available information looks when formatted according to that style. Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list.

Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates. Therefore, it’s best to use Encyclopedia.com citations as a starting point before checking the style against your school or publication’s requirements and the most-recent information available at these sites:

Most online reference entries and articles do not have page numbers. Therefore, that information is unavailable for most Encyclopedia.com content. However, the date of retrieval is often important. Refer to each style’s convention regarding the best way to format page numbers and retrieval dates.

In addition to the MLA, Chicago, and APA styles, your school, university, publication, or institution may have its own requirements for citations. Therefore, be sure to refer to those guidelines when editing your bibliography or works cited list.
